Hello!

Could you please remove this patch from your 2.6.34 tty pull request?
Andrew Morton questioned whether this should actually be used yet[1],
and I responded confirming his suspicions[2]. In addition, this patch
has not "been in the linux-next and -mm releases for a number of
weeks now", as you suggest in your pull request.

Thanks!
